Loading Up on BLUE CRABS Using Nets | Crab Catch and Cook

In this video we used ring nets to catch blue crabs from a boat. After that we watched how Crave Restaurant in St. Bernard cooked up the crab meat for a catch and cook.

[@kathymcgathy2006]

I am 72 years old and when I was a child,before my dad died, we would go out to the lake and throw out those type of nets anchored in the cracks between the stairs of the sea wall. We would spend the day with family and the kids running the nets every half hour or so and by the evening we would usually have a bushel or two of crabs. My dad would set up the boiler and cook them right there. Then we would spend the evening picking and eating them right there at the top of the sea wall. Great memories. Sadly the lake became too populated to eat the great things the lake used to have to offer. Love ❤️

[@OutsidetheLevees]

I will def film one at the lake soon

I grew up on the Elizabeth River in Chesapeake Virginia. One of the best crab fisheries on the planet if not the best. It dumps into the Chesapeake Bay. I remember going to the railroad trusses by the Ford plant and literally filling up a 12 foot Jon boat to the point where we had to stand on the benches. All with a dip net pulling them right out of the water and right off the pylons. Then cook and pick crabs all night so my granny could make crab cakes that would knock your socks clean off. I did these things solo at 9 years old with a 9.9 Johnson and my Jon Boat. Best days of my life!!!!! Love this content.

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Thanks!

[@JamesJones-cx5pk]

The Chesapeake cant keep up anymore. Louisiana crabs are shipped to Maryland.

[@xiaogary3161]

You are the fist KZbinr I found will expose the crabbing spot, I live in texas, but still thanks

[@OutsidetheLevees]

JARED What a wonderful video it was fun to watch you catch, but you need to be voted by the parish president for the St. Bernard Parish ambassador, You have my VOTE ‼️

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Bless you brother

One of the best videos of yours I’ve seen. My all time favorite seafood is blue point crabs. Thanks again

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Glad you enjoyed

[@youroutdoors5453]

You should!

[@YouretheMan-r6h]

You are one hell of a salesmen for St. Bernard, I have to come down just for the food.

[@patricksmith3316]

I thought you caught all that crab to have the restaurant cook all that crab so you could eat all that crab. You got 2 pieces. 😮

[@OutsidetheLevees]

lol. It’s all good Man it was a fine dish

[@AUTiger1964]

OK Jarad, if you keep this up I’m gonna have to unscribe! Don’t know how much more I can take seeing all that fantastic seafood, much of which I grew up eating in Mobile. Couple of suggestions, about future catch and cooks, if you haven’t already done them. Fried soft shell blue crab and fresh fried mullet fillets. In my opinion both great, tasty seafood. We always had plain grits with the mullet but cheese grits would kick that up a notch. We used to catch soft shells wading at night while floundering but of course today they are farmed like so many other seafoods. And we crabbed cotton line with chicken necks and dip net! My how things have changed! But the crabs still taste as good or better! Enjoy the videos, especially the ones with your boys. Keep ‘em coming!😊

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Amen brother thank you for the support

[@philmccumbee6938]

Good video. It has been fun watching your channel grow.

OMG...that Crave restaurant is the bomb!! Yummy!!

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yes please go visit them if you can

[@elkhunter76]

Looks like a great time. Was -28°F here in Wyoming this morning. Had 2 days of snow . Too cold to shovel or plow. Will do that tomorrow.

[@timsnapp2843]

We were -20 and probably got hit by the same storm (Great Falls, MT)

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Come warm up down here

[@stacyreid5077]

I live in Natchitoches, Louisiana which is probably about 150 miles north of St. Bernard parish were this was filmed and I’m not sure if our temp gauges even go down to that temperature. I don’t blame you one bit for not going out there to shovel. With the arthritis I have I’m not sure if I could get out the door. Lol.

[@larrystephens7437]

Crave, feel a powerful desire for something. That plate sure lived up to the definition. Fun time on the water.

[@gonzalomanriquezjr864]

It’s cool you guys don’t have a size limit. Here in Maryland in the Chesapeake Bay it’s 5 1/4 inches and hard male crabs only for recreational crabbers. I catch so many just under 5 inches that I have to throw back

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Yeah man it def helps on a slow day. Thanks so much for watching f

[@perrybutler5970]

Wow! Looks delicious. PB

[@officerkrupke4966]

I used to ship out of New Orleans and while waiting to catch a ship, I would go to a bar in St. Bernard parish named Perino's . I met some of the friendliest people you would ever want to meet there. I would not hesitate to visit any of the establishments in the Parish.

I saw someone use rock salt to attract shrimp in the river. Can you use rock salt to attract crab as well?

The best place to catch crab is in Virginia and the Chesapeake Bay

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Not anymore. Louisiana has been the leader for many years now.

[@CayneWatt]

AB&C Outdoors just reinvented the drop net. Its a closing net. Dont flip, and your crabs cant swim out. Made with smaller netting so your crabs dont get all wrapped up giving you more time crabbing and not dealing with nets. Made out of stainless and galvanized makes them long lasting saving you some money in the long run! Hit me up for more info on placing an order!

[@OutsidetheLevees]

Send me a few I’d be happy to try them

If them crabs like the rabbit like that I’m going to have to try some nutria for bait next time.

You have to get them from Hook and Line Sporting Goods in Chalmette. They can ship if you order over the phone

[@stanleyschultz-s1k]

Try using a trot line to catch crabs. Use J O spice and steam the crabs.

Need some good old trout heads they work great too

You got that right!
